Don't bother or get angry at NS. No such thing is going to ever happen between India and Pakistan. Tomorrow another firing across the border, thing are back to square one. Such news between India and Pakistan should be taken with bag of salt. This news of giving access to each other Banks has...

When you are comparing economies by nominal, you are not only taking the growth rate but also considering foreign exchange effect. Hence a static rank for India. That is the reason why India is third largest by PPP, while 10th largest by nominal. Statistics prove that foreign exchange effect...

When Cii Bank predicted India would over take China, it implied a long run growth rate of India at 5%, China at 3% and US at 1%. The more developed an economy is, harder is for one to extract higher growth rate. That is what economic theories say. For more information check Solow's model of...

Why this new “strategic partnership” between the United States and Afghanistan and Pakistan? Isn't Af/Pak there that is single theater of operations for both Afghanistan and Pakistan?

Bangladeshis are the biggest drama queens here on PDF.

virgin birth :lol:

Why do China need four ACs? South China sea is small and 1 or 2 ACs are more than enough.

I want to visit Pakistan because, I want to visit sites of Indus Valley Civilization.

@FaujHistorian I agree with you that there is no such thing as pan Indian culture, but at the same time it is not as black and white as described by you. There are things that all Indians share at some level regarding what ever region some one belong to, and that we called Indian culture...
